"First of all, do we need to change our names, what do you think we should call each other better?" Liu Bufan stared at Zheng Qitong and asked.

"Eh, if you call me Qitong, I'll call you by your name, He Fan. Zheng Qitong replied after thinking.

"Isn't that intimate enough?"

"What do you think it should be called?"

"Husband and wife!" Liu Bufan had a serious expression.

"Think beautiful!" Zheng Qitong gave him a roll of the eyes.

"So do we have any intimate behaviors, such as..."

"No!" Before Liu Bufan could say the specific behaviors, she denied it.

"Do I need to bring any gifts with me?"

"I've got it ready for you, just take it upstairs when you get there. ”

"Well, there's nothing wrong with me. ”

"Okay, we'll go to my parents' house the day after tomorrow. Zheng Qitong admonished.

"Okay, Mr. Zheng, I'll make you dinner tonight, thank you for helping me during this time. Liu Bufan looked at Zheng Qitong and said sincerely.

"From now on, you're going to call me Qitong!" corrected Zheng Qitong.

"Okay, Qitong. ”

"I didn't expect you to have such a specialty, so I'll try your craft. Zheng Qitong looked at him and said with a smile.

"What do you like to eat, I'll go out and buy groceries. ”

"There are a lot of them, I'll go buy them with you. Zheng Qitong stood up and said happily.

Zheng Qitong is very excited all the way, seems to have found a sense of home, her ideal home is to work during the day, go home at night to visit the supermarket with her beloved, cook a hearty dinner, and then go out for a walk, chat, and sleep with each other at night. The two went to the supermarket together to choose dishes, Zheng Qitong would only make a breakfast, she had never cooked, she picked all kinds of fish and meat in the supermarket, while Liu Bufan picked some side dishes and ingredients to ensure that she could make a complete dish.

After coming back, Liu Bufan began to show his skills, from washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, cooking vegetables, and plating, the whole process was smooth, all of which he completed alone, and cooking was also one of his favorite things, watching himself make a series of delicacies, and then let others taste his results, he also had a great sense of achievement, although he was sweating profusely, but he was never tired of it, and Zheng Qitong quietly appreciated it on the side, applauding and cheering him from time to time.

After all the dishes were completed, Liu Bufan served them on the table, Zheng Qitong had already smelled the fragrance, and some couldn't wait to taste it, but he still couldn't help but didn't move the chopsticks. Liu Bufan sat down in an apron, propped his hands on the table, looked at Zheng Qitong and said, "Taste it!"

She took a mouthful of food and put it in her mouth, and suddenly, she closed her eyes, tilted her head slightly, her face was full of satisfaction and happiness, and her mouth was still chewing food. After the taste of the food disappeared in her mouth, she opened her eyes, as if she hadn't eaten enough, and picked up a few other dishes to try, although the taste was different, but in the end the taste buds were the same.

"Yes, yes, I can't see that your cooking skills are also so accomplished, it's really not easy!" Zheng Qitong gave such an evaluation after tasting every dish.

"If you pass the award, it's just that the class has an axe and does it casually. Liu Bufan said with a slight smile.

"You are very modest now, saying that your cooking skills are so good, it is more than enough to be a chef in a big hotel!" Zheng Qitong looked at him with admiration.

"I didn't think about it, I learned to cook, just because when I was a child, my parents had to be busy with farm work, and I had to cook for my younger siblings. Liu Bufan had a bitter expression on his face.

"You're such a good cook, I want to eat it in the future, what do you say?"

"Then if you want to eat it in the future, I'll make it for you to eat!"

"That's what you said, don't go back!"

"Good"

Zheng Qitong continued to taste the deliciousness, and Liu Bufan also brought dishes and chopsticks to eat together, and the two talked and laughed, and ate a happy home-cooked meal.

After the meal, Liu Bufan was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, Zheng Qitong walked behind him gently, crossed his hands down, lowered his head, and asked softly: "He Fan (Liu Bufan's name when she pretended to be her boyfriend), how about we go out for a walk later?"

"Okay, I'll go with you when I clean up the kitchen. Liu Bufan turned his back to her and readily agreed.

"You clean up first, then I'll wait for you in the living room!" Zheng Qitong's face turned red, turned around and ran to the living room.

After Liu Bufan finished his work, he walked to the living room, Zheng Qitong had already changed his clothes, and he was dressed up more fashionable and beautiful, which made his eyes shine.

"Let's go!" Zheng Qitong said with a charming smile as she stood up.

Liu Bufan nodded, followed Zheng Qitong and went out, the two walked together on the cold street, the H market at the end of the year, but there was no prosperity and liveliness on weekdays, the people on the street were sparse, more like an old man in his last years, a little desolate.

On the road, the two did not feel at home, did not have too much language communication, and walked forward side by side, sometimes bowing their heads, sometimes looking into the distance, but they did not look at each other. Both hands were in their pockets, and although they bumped into each other occasionally, they quickly separated without further contact.

More than ten minutes later, Zheng Qitong pulled out her hand to touch her face, and the cold air had already made her face slightly red.

"It's cold outside!" she said first.

"Yes, the temperature is relatively low this winter, maybe there will be snow!" Liu Bufan glanced at her and replied.

"How did your family celebrate the New Year?" Zheng Qitong also looked at Liu Bufan and asked.

"Although our hometown is relatively remote, but our New Year atmosphere is very good, the family prepares all kinds of New Year's food and food together, cooks Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the family surrounds, happily eats food, chats, and prays for our new year's life..."

Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, every festive season to think of relatives, Liu Bufan said that he thought of his family in the distance, at this time, the family should be preparing food, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, I want to accompany them to celebrate the New Year. But now I obviously can't do it, this is the first New Year I spent not at home, this kind of loneliness, like a cold cold, stinging my heart. Although the family is poor, the conditions are not good, and there are still a series of troubles, but after all, it is home, the place where he was born and raised, and his roots, Liu Bufan will never forget that place for the rest of his life, and he still wants to go back.

"Then you are very happy, and the family can live a good year in harmony, without worries and quarrels. Zheng Qitong's face was a little lonely and turned her head to the side.

"You don't have to envy, we are the way of the poor, we have no superior material conditions, we can only adjust our mentality, be content and happy, and work hard in the coming year to create a better life. Liu Bufan smiled bitterly and lowered his head.

"What can you do if you have money? Money can buy many precious things, but money can't buy family harmony, money can't buy happiness, money can't buy love, what's the use of more money?" Zheng Qitong sneered and stroked her hair.

"Qitong, in the eyes of people, you are already the pride of the sky, with wealth that many people can't reach in a lifetime, you can enjoy all kinds of material satisfaction that money brings you, as well as enviable beauty, which is also a kind of happiness. As for the family happiness and love you said, I don't think this conflicts with money, the rich also have a model of happy family and sweet love, this may be a certain problem in your family itself, of course, I am not saying bad things about you, just an inference, as long as you are willing to solve this contradiction, maybe what you say you are looking forward to will come head-on. Liu Bufan looked serious, looked at Zheng Qitong, and analyzed.

"You're going to comfort people, you don't know about my family, so you're never going to understand that feeling, but thank you for the comfort. Zheng Qitong raised her head and sniffled, looked at Liu Bufan and smiled.

"Perhaps, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and only those who are in it can experience it the most. Liu Bufan also smiled slightly.

"Let's go back, we've been gone for a long time. Zheng Qitong said.

"Good"

The two took a route closer to home and began to walk back.

At this time, white snowflakes began to float in the sky, hitting the faces of the two of them, and they felt cold and cold. Zheng Qitong rotated her body and spread her arms, letting the snowflakes fall on her palms, as if she wanted to dance with them and have a close contact. Liu Bufan walked behind, looking at Zheng Qitong's happy appearance, and also showed a silly smile.

Zheng Qitong was very interested in this sudden snow, and stayed in the snow for a longer time, Liu Bufan did not urge at all, but was happy to play with her, and it was much more over when she came back.

"Bufan, thank you for spending a pleasant evening with me!" Zheng Qitong returned to the house and turned to Liu Bufan.

"You're welcome, it's rare that you're in such a good mood, what's the point of staying with you for a while!" Liu Bufan said with a smile.

"You're such a good person!" Zheng Qitong looked at him with a red face.

"These days, good people are not popular!" Liu Bufan sighed.

"That's better than a scumbag, you have to keep it up!" Zheng Qitong gave him an encouraging look.

"I try my best..."

"Good man, then you go to the room to rest first, I'm going to use the bathroom, you are not allowed to come out without my permission!" Zheng Qitong pointed at Liu Bufan and said domineeringly.

"Okay, okay, I'll go!" Liu Bufan was helpless and turned back to his room.

Zheng Qitong went to get his clothes, and returned several times to check whether Liu Bufan was abiding by the rules, and after repeating it several times, he made sure that he did not cross the line, so he entered the bathroom and closed the door.

More than an hour later, Zheng Qitong shouted outside his door in his pajamas: "Good man, you can go to the bathroom." ”

Liu Bufan was reading in the room, he was about to fall asleep, his eyes were fighting, he walked out of the room with his clothes, Zheng Qitong had already gone back to his room, he went in to wash up, hurried back to the room, and fell asleep.
